Shemer Wintertide Exhibition

Three of my photos were selected to be displayed at Shemer Art Center Wintertide Exhibition from November 27th 2015 through December 31st 2015. The Opening Reception will be on Thursday, December 3rd from 6 pm to 8 pm. The Shemer Art Center is located at 5005 East Camelback Road, Phoenix, AZ 85018. The exhibit was juried by Bonnie R Lewis.

Juror

Bonnie studied history and secondary education at Temple University, and later received a Masters in Art Education at Arizona State University. After teaching art in the Mesa Arizona elementary schools, she became Director of Education at the Arizona Museum for Youth. As the art museum educator, she assisted in the designs of museum exhibitions and developed educational programs for children.

In 1985 she began an exciting company (Painted Desert Art & Cultural Tours), which organized and led art and architecture tours in the U.S. and throughout the world for over 22 years. She studied fine art and has taken many art workshops at Penland School of Crafts, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Scottsdale Community College, Shemer Art Center, Art Intersection, Art Academy of San Diego and the Athenaeum School of the Arts.

Her work is mainly figurative and narrative, combining elements of painting and collage. She also layers sheer fabrics over collaged figures to create a new depth of mystery. Currently she is printing photographs onto canvas and painting and/or sewing on them to tell whimsical stories.

Shemer Art CenterIn 1919, developers led by Seymour Jordan formed the Arcadia Water Company and began drilling wells with the intent to sell home sites in the newly named Arcadia neighborhood. To house the foreman of the water company, the first home in Arcadia was built. In July 1984, long-time Phoenix resident and real estate investor Martha Evvard Shemer purchased the twice-renovated, Sante-Fe mission-style home and land. Working with Mayor Terry Goddard, Mrs. Shemer donated the home to the City of Phoenix, not only to preserve the historical property but to also ensure it was used as a community center for city residents.

Today, the Shemer Art Center has become a cultural center for all ages. Currently celebrating its 30th Anniversary, it serves its mission as a community arts education center, a “home for the arts” that provides a unique and inviting atmosphere for residents and visitors to enjoy and learn about visual art, through fun and affordable classes, lectures, workshops, exhibits and events. Areas of instruction offered year-round by professional teaching artists include drawing, painting, print making, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media, photography, metals and jewelry-making. Additional features of the Shemer Art Center include an on-site gift shop plus an outdoor sculpture garden, both featuring beautiful, one-of-a-kind works of art created by some of Arizona’s most talented artists, for viewing and for sale.

The Shemer was named one of the best museums in Phoenix by USA Today.

Maryland Federation of Art 14th Annual Small Wonders Exhibit

One of my photos was selected to be displayed at the Maryland Federation of Art’s 14th Annual Small Wonders Exhibition from November 27th 2015 through December 23th 2015. The Opening Reception will be on Thursday, December 3rd from 6 pm to 8 pm. Awards presented at 7 pm. The Maryland Federation of Art is located at 18 State Circle, Annapolis, MD 21401. Nearly 700 entries were received for the exhibit juried by Georgia Deal of the George Washington Corcoran School of Arts and Design.

Small Wonders Exhibit
The Maryland Federation of Art (MFA) invited all artists residing in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico to enter its 13th annual Small Wonders competition. Original 2-D and 3-D artwork meeting size restrictions and following entry guidelines, was considered. The selected works will be on exhibit at MFA’s Circle Gallery from November 27 – December 23, 2015. Exhibition Chair: Carol Donahue.

All 2-dimensional artworks can be a maximum size of 11″x11″. 3-dimensional artworks can be a maximum size of 7″x7″.

JurorGeorgia Deal is Professor and Printmaking Area Coordinator at the George Washington Corcoran School of Arts and Design. Her area of expertise is in intaglio, mixed-media and photographic print processes, along with papermaking and book arts. She has served as resident printmaker at the Smithsonian American Art Museum and has taught at Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute in Utica, NY. She has conducted workshops and study-abroad courses with many organizations and is a member of the boards of Hand Papermaking magazine, the Washington Print Club, the Skopelos Foundation of the Arts, The Friends of Dard Hunter organization, and the Southern Graphics International Council.

Juror’s StatementThis year’s Small Wonders show brought in a record number of entries, enough I felt to curate more than one exhibition, as the quality of work was so high. It was a daunting task, but also satisfying to see the scope and quality of the submissions. From painting, collage and prints to photography, crafts and sculpture, the diversity and skillfulness of the many submitted works was outstanding.

This theme invited the artists’ intimate observations, quiet interiors and urban scenes, nature’s small secrets, as well as the quirky and humorous point-of-view. Sculpture at this scale become treasures, curios, or a universe of ideas. Yet, it is interesting and exciting how small works such as of these, can pack such a punch, startle and engage.

The wealth of photography was impressive, often catching quiet moments of place and time, subtle beauty and curiosity, and a glance into the human spirit. There were many works, more than could be included, that captured the unique beauty and picturesque environs of the Eastern shore.

It was a pleasure to have this opportunity and I hope the viewer enjoys the work as much as I have.

Maryland Federation of ArtMFA celebrates and supports local and national artists by giving them professional avenues for exhibition. Whether at MFA’s iconic location, Circle Gallery on State Circle in Annapolis, or at alternate sites including local restaurants, public buildings, in partnership with other nonprofits, and at the University of Maryland College Park, artists at all stages of their careers are able to bring to the public their points of view through their work.

MFA looks forward to the next half-century, presenting the work of established and emerging artists at Circle Gallery, in alternate locations and to the world through virtual galleries and exhibitions
